Promises of God
Fear not, He says, for I am with you.
How can I be sure of this?
My faith is weak.
I see words on the page, but they fail to resonate.
I lack the confidence and strength to believe
That life will work out, somehow,
Even if it doesn’t end well
Or disaster strikes and I lose everything,
God is with me, there is no need to fear.
This should be inner peace, not based on pleasant circumstances
But rooted in a knowledge of the Lord’s promises
And a childlike belief in them.
Such faith feels at times beyond my reach,
As self-composure so often melts down under pressure.
I pray for stronger faith, a positive outlook and a heart after God’s own.
He is Righteous: I entrust my soul to His Hands.
